BURNER.

Application filed June 28,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN CLARY, a citizen of the United States, residingat Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of Cillb fornia, haveinvented new and useful 1m provements in Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to burners for burning kerosene and otherhydrocarbons, the purpose being to provide a burner whlch Wlll producean exceedingly hot flame.

Another object is the provision of a burner in which the kerosene isvaporized and mixed with water vapor and ignited which results in aflame having a greater number of heat units than the ordinary blueflame.

Another object is the provision of a burner of simple construction andoperation which may be placed within a stove or other convenientposition and operated to provide an intense heat for either cooking orheating purposes.

WVith the above and other objects in view the invention further includesthe following novel features and details of construction, to behereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings V Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a burnerembodying the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. a is a detailed perspective view of the spreader.

Referring in detail to the drawings wherein like characters of referencedenote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates thebody of the burner which is preferably made of cast metal and whichincludes supporting legs 11 and a water chamber 12. This latter is openat the top, being formed for a depression in the top of the body portionand having an opening 13 within which is positioned a pipe '14. Thispipe is connected with a tank 15 or other source of water supply and maybe controlled by a valve 16.

Extending from one end of the body portion of the burner is a pipe 17and this pipe is formed into a coil 18 which is spaced aboveSpecification of Letters Eatent.

the center of the burner, the said pipe terminating in a nozzle 19 whichis prefercoil so that the fluid passing through the coil and out throughthe nozzle 19 will be broken up and distributed into the passage througha screen.

Located directly beneath the nozzle and within the water chamber 12 is aspreader 21, the upper face of which is of convex formation. Thisspreader is removably located within the water chamber and is spacedfrom the bottom of the chamber by legs 22.

The pipe 17 has connected thereto a supply pipe 23 in which is includeda one way valve 24, the pipe 23 being also connected to the supply tank25 which is adapted to contain kerosene or other hydrocarbon fuel. Avalve 26 is also located within the pi e 23 for the purpose of entirelycutting o the supply of fuel to the burner.

In the operation of the burner sufficient water is permitted to flowinto the water chamber to a depth of approximately onethird and when thekerosene or other fuel passing through the nozzle 19 has been ignited asufficient height to properly heat the coil 17, the fuel passing throughthis coil will be vaporized, the vapor passing through the screen to thespreader 21, by means of which it is divided and mixed with the vaporrising from the water in the water chamber so that an intense heat isproduced. By means of the valve 24:, fuel is prevented from burningthrough the pipe 23 for the danger of fire within the fuel tank 25 isprevented.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportionsand minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved tomake such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appendedclaim.

Having described the invention what is claimed is A burner comprising abody portion, an open water chamber included in the body portion, a coilsupported above the water chamber, means for supplying a hydrocarbonfluid to the coil, a nozzle communicating with and located centrally ofthe coil for diwhereby when the burner 'is lighted the hydrocarbon fluidand vwater will be vaporized and mixed to provide a fuel for the burner.

In testimony whereof I aflix 'my signature. JOHN CLARY.
